Non-Wing 410 Sprints Are Set For Friday Night Encore At Lincoln Speedway The Event Begins Great Racing Weekend In Central Illinois (Lincoln, IL) This coming weekend is arguably the biggest every year when it comes to racing in Central Illinois. There are four great events in three days at three different facilities. It all begins on Friday, August 18 at Lincoln Speedway in Lincoln, IL, with four different types of racecars, led by the POWRi/WAR East 410 Non-Wing Sprint Cars. UMP Pro Late Models, UMP Modifieds, and POWRi Lucas Oil DII Midgets presented by Nutech Seed are also on the card. Last Sunday, the 410 non-wing sprints were in action for the first time in two years at the track. It was part of the Springfield Speedway Reunion, which is put on in part by Terry Young from Hoosier Tire Midwest. It was a great day at the track, with 25 sprint cars in the pits and a feature event that went flag-to-flag. Add the fact that local driver, Brett Triplett, from Lincoln, IL claimed the impressive victory, it was a highly entertaining day for the locals. Well, fans don't have to wait long to see the sprints again, as they headline Friday's show with a $2,000 to win special. The POWRi Lucas Oil WAR East Sprints are led in points by Springfield, IL driver, Korey Weyant, while Decatur, IL driving veteran, Terry Babb is second in the standings. Slater Helt, Steve Thomas, and Mario Clouser round out the top five. Chris Windom, from Canton, IL, leads the series with three wins, while Landon Simon and Weyant each have two. Many of the same stars will be back from last Sunday's show along with a few additions that compete with the series. The UMP Pro Late Models are back on tap after not being part of last Sunday's show. In addition to the normal pay, bonus money will be available to drivers in the class who compete Friday at Lincoln and Saturday at Macon Speedway. The money will be paid to the top three average finishes between the two nights of racing, ($200-$100-$50). Coming into the night, Springfield, IL driver, Jake Little, leads the current standings by 34 over last year's champion, Midland City, IL's Roben Huffman. Little has claimed three feature wins at the track this season, while Huffman is looking for his first. Cody Maguire, Myles Moos, and Dustin Ingram round out the top five. Little is the only driver to win more than feature this year with three, while Moos, Matt Taylor, Guy Taylor, and Allen Weisser have each won one. The UMP Modifieds will be back in action this Friday after having the closest finish in Lincoln Speedway history last Sunday. Ray Bollinger led Kenny Wallace until the final lap when Wallace got a run on the bottom of the track and passed him on the exit of four. Bollinger fought back on the outside, resulting in a photo finish and a win for Wallace by mere inches, at most. This week's Modified event will see Ashland, IL's Brandon Roberts come into the night 80 points ahead of Austin Lynn. Roberts has taken three of the nine features this season, while fourth place point man, Ray Bollinger has also won four. Brian Lynn is third in points, while Mike Brooks rounds out the top five. Allen Weisser, Kenny Wallace, and Rodney Standerfer complete the list of drivers winning features in the class this season. Rounding out Friday's divisions will be the POWRi DII Midgets By Nutech. Waterman, IL's Jack Routson leads the track standings by 54 over Tyler Vantoll. Mitchell Davis, Andy Baugh, and Austin Archdale complete the top five. The win leader is Vantoll with four, Gedd Ross with two, and Routson and Robby McQuinn with one each. McQuinn won his on Sunday. A Lincoln area quarter midget group will be on hand to take some laps during intermission of the night's event, putting some young racing talent in front of the fans in the stands. Pits open Friday at 3:00, grandstands at 4:00, local pill draw will end at 6:00 when hotlaps begin, and racing will take the green at 7:00. Grandstand admission is $15, while kids 11 and under are free. It's all part of three great days of racing in Central Illinois. On Saturday afternoon, fans will flock to the Illinois State Fair for the Bettenhausen 100 before heading to Macon Speedway Saturday night for the POWRi National Midget League. Rounding out the weekend will be the Herr's Potato Chips Chase The Taste 100 on Sunday afternoon at 1:30.

Not sure who screwed up but Lincoln Speedway lost at least 3 paying patrons due to the reluctance of whoever does the posting here to reveal what the order of the A-mains would be. We're camping at the fairgrounds in Springfield and had every intention of attending but we never got an answer to when the WAR sprint car A-main would be run. This same thing happened last year in regards to the Macon Speedway POWRi show.

We want to support these shows but there are 3 or 4 support classes involved TEI really needs to be forthcoming with this information.
